Finally it looks like Spring is officially on the way! This means Met Con Blue will be here before you know it! We have some exciting things to announce and a few reminders to help you get revved up for Met Con Blue on Saturday, June 14!

Congratulations to our Canadian Athletes for putting forth an outstanding effort! 18 medals makes us all proud, but it was was the unwavering determination in our athletes that brought us so close to the edge every event. It is this determination and mind set that all participants of Met Con Blue Mountain Adventure Race experience. We have truck loads of breaking news coming out of our camp this week, including our presence at Can Fit Pro; the announcement of our Fall Met Con Launch Party; the date for our ginormous boot camp coming soon to Blue Mountain Resorts. Our 11:00 am wave is almost full as we have 3 weeks left to sign up for the most insane 5km mountain adventure race on the planet!

Its now time for the MCB nation to decide: Pick the obstacle that you wish to see in our September 8th, 2012, Met Con Blue Mountain Adventure Race. As you click the like button on our MCB Facebook page, also enter your idea of a cool name for the obstacle. MCB will randomly draw the name from the entries submitted from the obstacle with the most votes, and the winning name will pay homage to the person who submitted the obstacle name on our course sign. Super Cool! The Pick and Name contest ends on July 22nd, midnight.

At Met Con Blue, we have a great thing going! The most awesome support system including our enthusiastic participants and our loyal sponsors. But there is always time set aside for reflection and improvement! Stepping up to the plate is our subtle way of saying (like a bull in a china shop), we are all about community! Today we promote a worthy cause, the CIBC Run for the Cure. Join team MCB Gone Pink! in a “Met Con Blue cool down on the easiest 5km on the planet… for such a great cause”. We know you like to run and you can still dress super freaky. Come on and wind us up Sunday September 30th, 2012, at Harbourview Park, Collingwood. Visit www.cbcf.org for more information on how the Foundation works.
